★★★★★
The team at Skinners have been wonderful with my late Mother-in-law's funeral. We also used Skinners for my late father-in-law in 2023. Shaun, April and Maria gently guided us from the start of the funeral process to collecting my mother-in-law's ashes. They showed nothing but respect, understanding and compassion for our situation. Nothing was too much for them in supporting us. I am forever grateful for their support and they are part of our story. Thank you Shaun and his wonderful team.
★★★★★
S.E.Skinner were appointed funeral directors by my mothers funeral plan. Throughout the whole process Shaun, April and Maria showed respect and kindness and were very helpful in changing our requirements and providing all the necessary information through to completion. I would recommend the services provided by S.E.Skinner.

SE Skinner and son recently helped with my mother in law's funeral arrangements. She had made it to 100 years and therefore we wanted her final journey to be perfect. It was. Shaun and April guided us through every step, helping us to make the right decisions. They listened to our wishes and ensured the day was as we wanted and perfect for Ma. We have no hesitation in recommending them.
★★★★★
They made the whole experience easy. They are caring and sensitive and I would thoroughly recommend them. They made a very difficult day as easy as it possibly could be. Many thanks to April Shaun and their colleagues.

My brother’s partner had been connected with Skinners from a previous family funeral so she felt it was a good place to start. From our initial conversations through planning and the final ceremony Shawn, Aaron and April were patient, sensitive and efficient. Aaron was our main point of contact and he was excellent. He always answered the phone and replied to emails in minutes and was patient with my concerns and confident to answer questions. All the staff also have a positivity and a sense of humour which was definitely helpful as sometimes in amongst the sadness the experience can get seem
